Started a new job and it was 100+ in the main building. I asked if he could turn on the AC or if we could have some fans or water and he said "quit being a lil bitch".

Got into the work van he provided and the brakes barely worked. The mirrors were both cracked and broken as was the windshield. The windows didn't roll down. No AC. Tires were as smooth as drag tires. It should not have been road legal.

Got to a job site and had to crawl through an attic full of spider webs and rat shit without a hazmat suit thing because "he doesn't provide that sorta thing. If you're a baby and you want one you need to buy it yourself".

The final straw was on the drive back to base from the work site the two other guys I worked with said that I need to check my paystubs every time because the boss likes to not pay them for driving time which is supposed to be part of the payment.

Get back to the main building and the boss rocks up in a brand new Ford f350 with all the bells and whistles. Easily a 100 thousand dollar truck.

I didn't say anything but when I got home (after thinking on it for the whole drive home) I sent him a text saying I would not be returning to work for him and I will be mailing him back the branded work shirts he provided for me after I washed them.

I would have rather ended up homeless that work another day for that man.

Thankfully another job fell into my lap literally 3 days later.
